Bubbles burst when their caps rupture. Children discover this phenomenon every summer day, but it also underpins key mechanisms for the spread of pollutants, contaminants, and even infectious disease through the generation ...
Researchers from Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) have leveraged their expertise in microfluidics to develop a novel method for deforming cells mechanically to facilitate intracellular delivery, revolutionizing ...
Imagine going through a surgery where the doctor proposes the use of a temporary implant that dissolves by itself with time in the human body, thereby avoiding a painful second surgery. As great as that would sound, the challenges ...
Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether in a physics class, in the lab, or in popular science writing, is left thinking something like, ...
An international research team led by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon has, for the first time, succeeded in visualizing and quantifying the complex airflow dynamics directly above the ocean surface in high resolution. Using ...
In a world overrun with plastic garbage, causing untold environmental woes, University of Houston assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, Maksud Rahman, has developed a way to turn bacterial cellulose—a ...
Osaka Metropolitan University researchers have solved a long-standing mystery in the field of sonochemistry: why do chemical reactions slow down when ultrasonic power becomes too strong?
Insects use a wax layer on their bodies to prevent water loss. Furthermore, they use the layer for communication. Although the chemical composition of this layer has been extensively studied, researchers at Johannes Gutenberg ...
Instead of a tempest in a teapot, imagine the cosmos in a canister. Scientists have performed experiments using nested, spinning cylinders to confirm that an uneven wobble in a ring of electrically conductive fluid like liquid ...
New research led by the University of Liverpool in collaboration with the University of New South Wales (Sydney, Australia) provides a significant step forward in understanding the micro-scale mechanisms that govern the behavior ...
